Injection Tips & Tricks For CAREGIVERS
When it’s time to inject, consider these tips and tricks from real caregivers:
- Write the injection day on a calendar so your child knows when it’s coming ahead of time.
- When appropriate, allow your child to guide the routine, whether it’s choosing a spot to sit, a song to listen to, or the time of day to receive the injection.
- Sometimes providing a reward works well—but often, a little quality one-on-one time is incentive enough.
